In case someone is in the frame of mind to cut the cord and "Take Back the Television" I found the following article on the best of outdoor tv antennas. https://snapgoods.com/best-outdoor-antennas/

In case anyone is experiencing a problem installing a rooftop antenna due to HOA rules, be aware, it is illegal for them to do so unless it is for the purposes of historic preservation. The HOA is often unaware of the FCC rule.

The rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video programming. The rule applies to video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes that are less than one meter (39.37″) in diameter (or of any size in Alaska), TV antennas, and wireless cable antennas. The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.
